I dunno if there's anything you guys could do to 'fix' this, but just advising that the confirmation email for signing up to the new site got sent straight into my spam folder, so If anybody else thinks they're not getting it make sure to check there!

Thanks for the feedback. We're aware of the email issue, and it's because we haven't set up a proper smtp server, and are instead using PHP mail function which, to keep it short, basically spoofs email-related stuff, which trigger spam filters. One of these days we'll set up something more legitimate :)

I recently cleaned my cache and stuff (/swat Windows 10 April Creator's Update! It killed my antivirus, so I had to swap). Came directly to the forums, tried to log back in and it wouldn't let me. (I got a oops! crash notice) I had to go to the site and go to the forums from there to get it to let me log in.

1. Browser (I use Firefox) started really misbehaving due to antivirus getting messed up by the Win 10 April Creator's Update (but I didn't know that at first; turned out uninstalling Avira fixed it. I changed it for Avast!) As I always do first thing when it misbehaves, I used CCleaner (free version) to clear cookies and cache, everything, thereby totally logging me out from both site AND forums.
2. Tried to log back in from the forums. Managed to log in on the site but it errored on the forums.
3. Got mad, went from site to forums, and THEN managed to login the forums without the error.

That help? That's basically what I did. Try logging yourself out from BOTH and see what happens. Make sure you visit the forums first after that.

P. S. If you're still having trouble seeing this error, I'll be hanging in #rpgamer all day as Elizara, poke me. ^^

I'll try to reproduce it again later on a clean machine. If you can reproduce it again on your end that would be helpful. I'm trying to see if this is due to the site, or just the forums themselves. Sometimes the forum can get overloaded and error out, which is unrelated to the site update, and all the site update does is just pass on login credentials to the forum, so I can't see how it would be breaking things. Mostly it should just refuse to log you in if the credentials aren't sent.

Will keep looking into it though, thanks for reporting!

Kk. I'll try to do the CCleaner thing again later on. Oh and one more thing that might of made a difference; I run both Ublock Origin and Noscript; I don't think Noscript is causing any problems (I allowed the site and everything..). Yes, I'm aware that Ublock Origin can do both but the interface for allowing stuff gives me a headache; I've never been able to get it to let me allow stuff. :-q So for me it's basically a adblocker. Noscript, now that the author has beaten it into shape, is more intuitive for me.

Really disappointed with the new site. I can't see reviews grouped by system anymore. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I used to come here to get my quick information about a new RPG. Having to investigate the site for the latest reviews isn't going to work for me. Now I have to click on each recently released game to see if it has a review. It doesn't even look like I can search for games now, which is the only reason I can think of for a redesign. I also lost access to my account and had to reregister for the forums (now for some reason all my old data appears). It's been awhile since this redesign, and I really wish I knew the reason for the redesign. It's so much harder to use now and it just looks cheap and messy, like a generic WordPress site. The old site looked a lot neater, snazzier, and unique. I don't have tons of friends around to talk about RPGs. So if I can't have a quick way to see all the reviews, I have no idea if a game is good or not. Plus, how are people supposed to come back to these forums if they think their account is gone. I don't talk on the forums much, but I do have newbie questions or opinions every once in a while.
